From Volunteer Boards to Virtual Tools: How HOAs Are Embracing Tech in 2025

If you serve on the board of a community association—or work closely with one—you already know the job isn’t what it used to be. Community association management has evolved from a few spreadsheets and monthly meetings into a complex ecosystem of financial oversight, legal compliance, collections, communication, and coordination.

And guess what? Much of that work still falls on the shoulders of volunteers.

According to the 2023 CAI Statistical Review, nearly 2.5 million homeowners volunteer as board or committee members across 365,000+ associations, contributing over 100 million hours of unpaid time. That volunteer time is valued at $3.2 billion annually. That’s a massive lift—often with minimal tools.

The New Reality: Complex Boards, Complex Needs

Modern HOAs and community associations are tasked with managing:

  • Multi-million-dollar annual budgets

  • Reserve funding for large-scale repairs

  • Vendor management and contracts

  • Ongoing legal and regulatory changes

  • Delinquent dues, assessments, and collections

  • Communication with hundreds or thousands of residents

And for the 30–40% of associations that are self-managed, those tasks aren’t just challenging—they’re overwhelming.

Where Technology Comes In

That’s where platforms like Anva change the game. We’re not here to replace the human element of community leadership—we’re here to empower it.

With tools like:

  • AnvaSearch™ for fast, powerful document retrieval

  • AnvaPay™ for integrated payments and accounting

  • AnvaMail™ to streamline communications and legal notices

  • Practice management dashboards to oversee cases, billing, and client service

Associations can operate with the same efficiency as large firms—without the learning curve or overhead.

Empowering Volunteers = Stronger Communities

Volunteers shouldn’t have to choose between sacrificing their nights and weekends or letting things fall through the cracks. Technology is the bridge between dedicated service and sustainable governance.

At Anva, we believe HOA and condo boards deserve modern tools built for the complexity of today’s communities.

Let’s make the shift—from overwhelmed to organized, from outdated to optimized.
